Hey guys, im having an issue with my datastore. So i plan on saving alot of data, and i want to do it on one key, the player UserId. To do this, i make a table and use Http Service to encode and decode it (which works, i tested it), but it appears it does not save correctly. Here is the code:

01-- [ SERVICES ] --
02local Players = game:GetService("Players")
03local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
04local Http = game:GetService("HttpService")
05 
06-- [ DATASTORES ] --
07local Data = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Data")
08 
09Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
10    -- Leaderboard
11    local leaderstats = Instance.new("Folder")
12    leaderstats.Name = "leaderstats"
13    leaderstats.Parent = Player
14    -- Coins
15    local Coins = Instance.new("IntValue")
16    Coins.Name = "Coins"
17    Coins.Parent = leaderstats
18    -- House
19    local House = Instance.new("IntValue")
20    House.Name = "House"
21    House.Value = 1
22    House.Parent = Player
23 
24    local PlotType = Instance.new("StringValue")
25    PlotType.Name = "PlotType"
26    PlotType.Parent = Player
27 
28    local HouseModel = Instance.new("StringValue")
29    HouseModel.Name = "HouseType"
30    HouseModel.Parent = Player
31 
32    -- Player Data
33    local PlayerData = {
34        Coins = Coins.Value,
35        PlotType = PlotType.Value
36    }
37    local Encode
38    local Success = false
39    local UserId = Player.UserId
40    while Success == false do
41        local suc,err = pcall(function()
42            Encode = Data:GetAsync(UserId)
43        end)
44        if suc then
45            Success = true
46        else
47            print("Error loading player data")
48            warn(err)
49        end
50    end
51    local Decode
52    local _Success = false
53    while _Success == false do
54        local suc,err = pcall(function()
55            Decode = Http:JSONDecode(Encode)
56        end)
57        if suc then
58            _Success = true
59        end
60    end
61end)
62Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(Player)
63    local leaderstats = Player.leaderstats
64    local UserId = Player.UserId
65    local SavedData = {
66        Coins = leaderstats.Coins.Value,
67        PlotType = Player.PlotType.Value
68    }
69    local Encode
70    local _Suc = false
71    while _Suc == false do
72        local Success,Error = pcall(function()
73             Encode = Http:JSONEncode(SavedData)
74        end)
75        if Success then
76            _Suc = true
77        end
78    end
79    local Success = false
80    while Success == false do
81        local suc,err = pcall(function() -- It seems to be here
82            Data:SetAsync(UserId,Encode) -- This doesn't seem to run, and the code seems to stop here for some reason
83        end)
84        if suc then
85            print("Success!")
86            Success = true
87        else
88            print("There was an error saving data")
89            warn(err)

There was a similar question for about 40 minutes ago, make sure that the game isn't shutting down when you detect `PlayerRemoving` NotTheChara 191 — 4y

ok lemme try that iamtryingtofindname 22 — 4y

nope didnt work still iamtryingtofindname 22 — 4y

Umm, why do you need to encode and decode the Data? NotTheChara 191 — 4y

so i can store a bunch of values into one key to keep stuff more organized iamtryingtofindname 22 — 4y
